Russell Walker’s life was spared when his truck veered off the road and flipped. When he wakes after surgery, he can only assume the medicines are making him see things, because the woman he loved—who broke his heart—is taking his vitals.

Chelsea Quinn has spent the past four years keeping clear of Russell Walker after she married another man and had a baby. Now she is thrust back into his life as his caretaker, and living with his family when her ex-husband is let out of prison.

Some heartbreaks are too severe to recover from, and Russell is fighting every feeling he has as not to get his heart broken again. But sometimes the pull of love is just too strong, especially when the lives of those you love are threatened, and someone is looking for revenge.

Lydia sat back in her chair and warmed her hands on her mug. “How does Russ do with Lucas? That’s been a sore spot to him, you know.”
“I can imagine. He wasn’t ready to accept him, but I think he might have fallen in love.”
“With Lucas?”
Chelsea nodded as she watched him spin in circles. “I think they’ll be good for each other.”
Lydia leaned in, her arms on her legs. “Are you sure about this? Do you really want to go back there?”
“It was a good place to be, Lydia. I messed it up.”
“You fight a lot.”
That made her chuckle. “We still do. But if he’ll give me another chance, I won’t turn it down.”
“Do you think it’s your ex that’s trying to hurt him?”
She shook her head. “I think it’s coincidence.”
“You really believe that just randomly, whoever stole that truck decided to run him off the road?”
“I have to believe that. I can’t think that this is my fault at all. I wasn’t there. And it’s only chance that I happened to be on that floor at the hospital for rotation when he came in. This is life offering me a second chance,” she assured her.
Lydia relaxed back. “We’re a mess, you know? You love a man with a temper and a mouth that causes people to run him off of roads. And the only man who is interested in me is the one man I have no interest in.”
“Are you sure?”
“The only thing I’m more sure about is that I’d rather die alone than to give in to him,” she said with a curt nod.
